SERVICE HOST: CONNECTED DEVICES PLATFORM USER SERVICE very high power usage

Question

This service is consuming 15-20% CPU All the time (but never beyond 25%) on my laptop (Dell XPS 15 7590) & its very annoying becuase this triggers fan noise even while doing minimal tasts on my computer & also consumes battery life

I have referred to other posts around the forum and have already tried the following CMD commands

Sfc.exe /scannow

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Any help would be much apreciated, TIA

Answer 1

Well if you decide to do one my preference is a Clean Install over a Reset.

So i did the factory restore from local image, so far no trouble, after the initial start up, i have restarted the pc once... And now i m going to update drivers and windows... And install other apps.. One by one and keep eye out for any issues

Any advice?

Answer 3
